[Mathematical approach to bacterial identification].
The identification of Enterobacteriaceae is examined in the context of the recent field of research assisted by multi-criteria decisions. In particular, the authors discuss the limitations of two approaches of assisted identification based on completely different mathematical concepts: the calculation of the probabilities (used in commercial centres) and the aggregation of pre-orders by a model of assisted decision such as Electra II. In order to reduce the errors of interpretation inherent in the use of any model, the authors propose the use of computer assisted systems of bacterial identification in bacteriology laboratories.
